Epping Plaza, Epping Road Epping.

This is a fine big place, sprawling out across the asphalt up north with it's roster of heavy hitters proudly displayed at the entrance:

I like the way this entrance is framed by a KFC and a McDonalds. Even if you don't want to shop, you can still eat. I wonder if their staff members eye each other off over an invisble line down the middle?

From the outside its hard to get a real sense of scale or layout of this place. Inside, it feels massive- this is just one leg of it:

And yes the glass roof is very nice, and I know the place uses a gumleaf motif on it's signs, but this combination of the two looks like a massive floating vagina, complete with pubes:

I bet the local schoolboys love it. Speaking of local, what is it with all the Safeways over on this side of town- why haven't they all been rebadged as Woolworths yet?

And while I like the idea that entrances to different parts of the plaza look different, this one is a little too busy. And brown.
